you need a running vmware server (esxi I believe) which
runs your vmdk image as a vm.
you can then connect to this vmware server and convert
the vm with the virt-v2v tool for ovirt, there is good
documentation for the exact process on the web and on this MLs
archives.

I know this is really much overhead for just converting an image
but afaik it's the only supported way to do this.

there is a bug with an request for enhancement to make this process
simpler, you could add yourself to the cc list, to encourage the devs
to pick this topic up faster (currently nobody works on this!):
